Double Black Album

Have you heard of the Double Black Album - the same Black Album Jay Z vocals used for the Grey Album mixed with music from Metalicas Black Album.

According to renegade music site bannedmusic.org Cheap Cologne did not ask either Metallica or Jay-Z for permission to sample their music. For most DJs, attempting to gain the legal clearance to sample is impossibly difficult and expensive. It’s unlikely that Metallica would have authorized this album under any circumstances, but if they did, the expense would have been well beyond what Cheap Cologne could afford. But DJs like Cheap Cologne are not creating these remixes for the money; instead, The Double Black Album is an exercise in creativity. Cheap Cologne knew he couldn’t sell this disc commercially, he just wanted people to hear what he had created. He pressed only 300 copies of Double Black and distributed most of them for free.
